It was found that nagios daemon creates its PID file after dropping privileges, which allows to change its content by non-root user with PID of any other process, resulting into denial-of-service when daemon is stopped (CVE-2017-12847). Note that the nagios package on Mageia 5 is no longer supported. Users of this package should upgrade to Mageia 6.
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mageia | 6 | noarch | nagios | < 4.3.1-2.1 | nagios-4.3.1-2.1.mga6 |
